LEAD ON, BRIGHT STAR.



Every road that I walk
Has a bend, has a fork
And I make the choice I make
And I take the path I take

Every road, every street
Has a corner I meet
And I have to make the turn
Because we have to make the turn

Lead on, bright star
Lead on into the night
I have no faith
But we all need light

I sleep, I dream
And I'm climbing
Perfect timing
Now I'm turning
The stars are burning

Strings! Organ! Solid track from 2010, hope this remix takes you back.

I'VE BEEN FORGOTTEN.

And we all have, haven't we? Once. Or twice. Now. Or forever.

There was one day where we didn't cross their mind.
There was a moment when they thought of someone new, instead of you.
There was a time when they ate your favorite food and you were not even a thought, and food was simply a meal.
There was a second when your favorite song played, and your singing did not echo in their head.
There was a point when you sent a text but either a distraction proved more important, or time erased your existence.

I've been forgotten, many times.

I've been forgotten when my friendship wasn't enough.
I've been forgotten when a different girl replaced me for fragments of what I called relationships.
I've been forgotten at basketball practice.
I've been forgotten by the phone call delay, and delay, and delay.
I've been forgotten on the guest list.
I've been forgotten on the invitations.
I've been forgotten in the counts of "How many people today" at restaurants.
I've been forgotten in the group photo.
I've been forgotten by death, by sleep, by meals.

I've been forgotten, many times..

I'm forgetting.

But, I'm still here.

ESCAPIN' THE MACHINE.



This is easily one of the best songs I ever heard.

Teachers taught us money was the motive (Money was the motive)
I said, "Fuck that bitch," I’m floatin' (Floatin')
Off a tab, rah, I’m Coastin' (Coastin')
And I didn’t take half, I took the whole thing
Escaping

The machine
Life hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)
The machine
Life, hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)

Took their minds, so they don’t dare to dream
(They don’t dare to dream)
Took their voice, so they don’t dare to scream
(They don’t dare to scream)
Don’t think they know what it really means
(Don’t know what it means)
Busy filling buckets that are bottomless it seems

The machine
Life hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)
The machine
Life, hard work, 'cause we all stuck in the machine (The machine)

This is PERFECT indie, and it's NEW. When was the last time you heard a track that made you feel like this?! Been a while for me. This easily transported me to the Lo Pub, or Ozzy's/The Zoo. I heard this song while I was writing and dropped everything to have a solo dancing party in my room. Devastated by 2020, letting all of it go with a good ol' indie dance jump off. The lyrics are ridiculously well done, the beat is phenomenal, what's there not to love?! Play this at full volume, and enjoy the dancing. Absolute BEAUTY!

BTW, when I say indie dance jump off, I mean this, don't let me down:


LIFE, HARD WORK, CUZ WE ALL STUCK IN THE MACHINE.

I can't believe this song came out in 2009. ELEVEN YEARS AGO. Are you kidding me?! Ugh. 2009 was a great year.

Say, say, my playmate
Won't you lay hands on me
Mirror my malady
Transfer my tragedy?
Got a curse I cannot lift
Shines when the sunset shifts
When the moon is round and full
Gotta bust that box, gotta gut that fish
My mind's aflame
We could jet in a stolen car
But I bet we wouldn't get too far
Before the transformation takes
And blood lust tanks and
Crave gets slaked
My mind has changed
My body's frame, but, God, I like it
My heart's aflame
My body's strained, but, God, I like it
My mind has changed
My body's frame, but, God, I like it
My heart's aflame
My body's strained, but, God, I like it
Charge me your day rate
I'll turn you out in kind
When the moon is round and full
Gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your mind
Mongrel mind
Baby doll, I recognize
You're a hideous thing inside
If ever there were a lucky kind, it's
You, you, you, you
I know it's strange another way to get to know you
You'll never know unless we go so let me show you
I know it's strange another way to get to know you
We've got till noon, here comes the moon
So let it show you
Show you now
Dream me, oh dreamer
Down to the floor
Open my hands and let them
Weave onto yours
Feel me, completer
Down to my core
Open my heart and let it
Bleed onto yours
Feeding on fever
Down all fours
Show you what all that
Howl is for
Hey, hey, my playmate
Let me lay waste to thee
Burned down their hanging trees
It's hot here, hot here, hot here, hot here
Got a curse we cannot lift
Shines when the sunshine shifts
There's a curse comes with a kiss
The bite that binds the gift that gives
Now that we got gone for good
Writhing under your riding hood
Tell your gra'ma and your mama too
It's true, true, true, true
We're howling forever, oh, oh
We're howling forever, oh, oh
We're howling forever, oh, oh
We're howling forever, oh, oh
We're howling forever, oh, oh

I had to post the lyrics in their entirety, because poetry like this deserves it.

DRINK. SMOKE DANCE. VIBE A LITTLE BIT. FUCK. CHANGE. RIDE. DIE, A LITTLE BIT.




Sometimes I can't, but I've been told I need to breathe
This life ain't something for someone like you and me
We just get caught up in the things that we don't need
Plenty time wasted, what are we waitin' for?
Searching for something in someone without a soul
Running in circles 'cause I suck at letting go
Starting to feel like there's no chance of breaking through
Plenty time wasted, what am I waitin' for?

This ho slaps.

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I CAN SAY.

I don't wanna write today.

I wanted to write yesterday, but I didn't. Today, I am.

That's it. That's the post.

I'll post some bops in a bit to make up for lost time.

Lonely



Found my autobiography in the version of song.

WOW THIS TRACK IS A BOP.

There's too much clouds, above her head
And too much space, to share in her bed
No one there to see her dress when she is going out at night
Ain't no arms around her body when she's laying on her side
She's been lonely.. She's been lonely..
For quite some time..

She's not afraid of going home in the middle of the night
She doesn't wanna sleep alone, wishin' you could hold her tight..

DAMN, JUNE WAS SAD.



WHAT A MONTH FOR MUSIC.
I'm forcing myself to take time to listen to music, research music, read blogs and CATCH UP, and it has definitely been helping me with healing. So, here are all the songs that I liked during the month of June, I hope you find some songs that you like too.

Love you,

B.
